I occasionally think that the clarinet community here in England is divided into two: those who were fortunate enough to know Ted Planas and be helped and encouraged by him, and those that didn't. I am very grateful to have been in that first category.

During the last few years, most of Gervase de Peyer's and Roy Jowitt's clarinets, both B&H and Eaton, have been with us here in Effingham, and some of them still are. I have written assessments of them, together with some thoughts on the evaluation of individual instruments.
